Environment Daily 1963, 17/10/05
-------------------------
Industry gave a strong welcome on Monday to confirmation that the EU
has exempted the brominated flame retardant deca-BDE from the
restriction on hazardous substances (RoHS) directive.  A new law was
published in the bloc's official journal on 15 October at the European
Commission's behest after member states failed to decide for or against
the measure (ED 15/09/05

 Sector group Ebfrip said the development was "reassuring news for
electronics manufacturers worldwide.  See Commission decision
